Diddy is taking man-scaping to a whole new level. In a new interview with Allure, the music mogul and playa reveals how he likes his ladies to be hairless. If you want to get diddled by Diddy, you must:

Maintain a Brazilian bikini wax!

Wax your legs!

Thread your eyebrows!

Indulge in manicures and pedicures!

But don’t be put off by the amount of work it takes to keep Diddy happy, ladies. The Puffster keeps his man bits looking just as bare as his dates’. “I shave and groom my private areas,” Diddy demurely revealed. “It’s a better presentation for me. If men require women to go through the pain, we should return the favor.”

Men, you heard it hear first. Diddy thinks you all should wax your balls; or at least get rid of that unibrow. It’s the least you can do! [NYDN. Photo: WireImage]

Kanye West has been busy tooting his own horn again. What a surprise! “I realize that my place and position in history is that I will go down as the voice of this generation, of this decade, I will be the loudest voice,” he said in an interview in London this week. “It’s me settling into that position of just really accepting that it’s one thing to say you want to do it and it’s another thing to really end up being like Michael Jordan.”

Yet with his growing arrest record, Kanye may end up being the next Dennis Rodman instead. God’s gift to music was busted early this morning in the U.K. for throwing punches with a photographer. The paparazzo accused the star of getting angry when he snapped him leaving a club with four women, but Kanye was released by police early this morning with no charges filed against him. The guy with the “loudest voice” also packs a pretty mean punch! [Photo: Splash News Online]

What, you expected celebs to stay silent about last night’s big win for President-Elect Barack Obama? No such luck, my friends. Everyone from Oprah Winfrey to Diddy to Jessica Alba had something to say about 2008’s historic election. Read ‘em all in our round up below.

Oprah Winfrey, one of Obama’s biggest celebrity supporters, couldn’t keep her excitement hidden. “I’m vibrating,” she gushed to Us magazine. Might be a little TMI, Oprah! She also told the BBC, “It feels like hope won. It feels like there’s a shift in consciousness. It feels like something really big and bold has happened here, like nothing ever in our lifetimes did we expect this to happen.”

Usher: “It’s so incredible to see that this historical thing has happened, man…The public service that went into this and the encouragement that came out of it, it’s just incredible to see it happen.”

Lindsay Lohan, on her Myspace blog, of course: “OBAMA IS OUR PRESIDENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! everyone that voted, no matter their choice…should be proud for voting in the first place :)”

Diddytakes responsibility for Obama’s win: “I felt like my vote was the vote that put him into office. … And that may not be true but that’s how much power it felt like I had.”

The always astute and reflective Jessica Alba: “I was surprised that McCain brought race into his speech. I guess he was trying to bring people together.”

A cute message from Kanye West to his deceased mom: “HI MOM, OBAMA WON!”

Pete Wentzshouts out new Vice President Joe Biden, “I would not be standing here actually in reality, at all, because my parents met working for [vice president elect] Biden. They met on a campaign so they have this particular affection for Joe – he came to their wedding. If it weren’t for Joe Biden, I would not exist as a human being.”

Spike Lee: “I think that’s a lot to do with young white Americans – they don’t have the same views as their parents.”

George Clooney: “I congratulate President-elect Obama on his historic victory, and now it’s time to begin unifying the country so we can take on the extraordinary challenges that this generation faces.”

Shakir Stewart, who replaced Jay-Z at Def Jam, was found dead from a self-inflicted gun shot wound on Saturday in the bathroom of his Atlanta home. The high-powered executive vice president was just 34 years old was notoriously hardworking, and began his rise through the music biz by handing out concert fliers. The young mogul was responsible for signing Ciara and Beyonce, and brought new stars like Rick Ross and Young Jeezy to the label. His fiance Michelle Rivers released a statement yesterday that expressed both her sorrow and disbelief surrounding his death:

“We would like to thank Shakir’s friends for the tremendous outpouring of love and support we have received during this difficult time. It has helped us to cope with our overwhelming grief and sadness. It is difficult to express or explain in words what led to the tragic occurrence on Saturday. Over the past several weeks, Shakir’s behavior was inconsistent with the man we all know and love. As much as we all tried to help him, Shakir was in deep pain and largely suffering in silence. Please remember Shakir for who he was … a wonderful father, partner, son and friend.”

Tomorrow is shaping up to be the greatest day of the year. Ice-T‘s wild wife CoCo has promised the world that she, in all her buxom glory, will wear nothing but her birthday suit as her Halloween costume. “It’s my day! I get to get naked! Finally!!!” She exclaimed to Daily Intel. Coco need not limit her clothes shedding to one holiday a year – every day can be her day! Strip on Thanksgiving, take it all of on Labor Day! But hey, if she wants to trick or treat in the buff on the one day a year everyone else dresses up, we’re not gonna complain.

Wanna see what costume CoCo rocked last year? Peep the pics below and marvel at her ability to show off as much boobage as possible without even a hint of nipple showing. Amazing. [Photo: FilmMagic]

Lil Wayne‘s talents do not end at rapping and mixing up delicious sizzurp, he’s also apparently endowed with midwifery skills as well. The “Got Money” singer didn’t pace the waiting room in anticipation of the birth of his new son, instead he had a hand in things – literally. “I delivered him. I held the left leg the whole time,” he revealed this week. “It was nasty, very nasty, but it was wonderful. Oct. 22, 9:25 a.m., 7 lbs., 12 oz. He’s the best thing to ever happen to me, next to my daughter.”

The identity of Lil Wayne’s baby mamma is still a mystery, but she surely must be grateful for her man’s many talents. [Photo: Splash News Online]

Holy crap. Beyonce (seen above in Miami) is finally brave enough to rock her wedding ring from hubby Jay-Z, and now we get why she left that blingy beast locked up for so long. The ring is massive. It might be the biggest one in Hollywood – it’s certainly the largest ring we’ve ever laid eyes on. You’d think Beyonce would hate wearing it, as it distracts us gawking weirdos from looking at her – and you know what Beyonce does to people who steal attention away from her. Just ask Destiny’s Child. [Photo: Splash News Online]
